At Mia Mélange, we are proudly South AfriCAN! South AfriCANS find opportunities in the darkest places (excuse the pun). We are passionate about creating opportunties and using our talents and we're not going to let load shedding get us down. Instead, we knuckled down and created the Loadshedding Cylinder Basket! It's a product we can make without any electricity, and we can sit on the sidewalk and enjoy the sunshine while being perfectly productive during load shedding. Adding this product to our collection has also enabled us to create extra work for women in our community.

Use this cylinder basket as a plant holder for an indoor plant, or use it to neatly store items such as towels, toilet paper, scarves, hair appliances, kids toys or even dog toys.

These products are made from 100% cotton rope. The cotton is grown locally in South Africa by farmers who are members of the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI).
